Swapiness

Lazy, tired, whatever...I haven't posted about crafts in awhile. But I have been somewhat busy!

I'm part of a swap this month and am working away with grand ideas. It's a fun one...use up stuff in your stash and tailor it to your partner. The person I've been matched with is super crafty, so I'm a little nervous about living up to her expectations! We have a lot in common and I've been following her blog for about a year now.

I finished my Mara this spring.

You can also see me wearing it here (3rd pic down). I love it! I used madelinetosh worsted yarn in a rusty red color. It's very bouncy and warm.

I'm now working on a citron (summer shawlette) as part of a knit-a-long in my knitting group and am using Malabrigo Lace in sky blue.

I'm waiting for a package of goodies to arrive from Jimmy Beans Wool. I used up a gift certificate I recieved from working their booth at Stitches West in February. Helping out at their booth was a great "behind the scenes" look at what it takes to have a yarn shop presence in the fiber world. It was non-stop work but totally fun if you love fiber and fiber freaks. I was still pumping at the time and it was my first weekend away sans hubby and baby. It made for a crazy weekend and was well worth it.
